Intending to bide some time,
I curiously opened your door
Just looking for a unique pint
What I found, was far more

At first, it was exactly what I wanted A small crowd, and ‘Perogy Night’!Easing into the Kaffé 1870 atmosphereSomething about it, feeling just right

It didn’t take very long, however The numbers began to grow For live music and a fundraiser More and more locals, I came to know

Kaffé 1870, Wakefield for Refugees
An awaiting host, a timely cause A community coming together Just like that, and just because

Words from the dedicated organizers,
A gregarious councillor, made everyone smile
The people, the closeness, the obvious warmth
My trip, already, well worth its while

It would become hard for me to leave‘Godknowswhat’ was sublime
Extremely accomplished musiciansDonating their talent, and their time

I couldn’t count all of the terrific chats I had found, in just a few hours But, what I will never underestimate Is community, and its obvious powers

Seeing the good in so many people And knowing, when I hear it
Experiencing your generosity And sharing in your spiritA raffle ticket, some Bean Fair coffee, For my table, another round I had donated, but felt like the recipient As I departed, Black Sheep bound
